Rosie’s Place

Which is more comforting: hearty breakfast and lunch classics, like brown-sugar oatmeal pancakes and oozy grilled-cheese sandwiches, or a cozy feel-good vibe? Well, there’s plenty of both here. The all-day breakfast menu offers a terrific riff on the classic eggs Benedict—a split biscuit with poached eggs and shaved ham covered in sausage gravy and cheese. And any lunch sandwich must include a side of house-cut sweet-potato fries. The only thing left to decide is how many cake-like gooey butter cookies from the glass counter to take home. A baker’s dozen is the answer.

The charming, comfortable interior of this restaurant will tempt you to linger for hours. Fare is straightforward and classic. Salads are fresh, oversized, and served with housemade dressing. The crabcake appetizer with a tangy remoulade sauce is easily large enough for a meal, and the barbecue portobello sandwich caught our eye as well.
